Hey guys

Over the last few days the weather has been pretty much perfect for some flying down here in Wellington, so I have made the effort to ... go up flying each of these days! winkyy.gif

Yesterday morning I went up in the back seat of an Archer for a good amount of time. It was quite nice being the passenger rather than sitting in the front left seat , meant I could get a bunch of photos and video as well!

After we landed I managed to get 2 flights in with the PA38 as well which was great - 3 flights in one day!!! thumbup1.gif

I took around a hundred photos , but have just picked a few to post up smile.gif

My ride for the morning



Any idea of what this is / who it owns it ?



My golf course winkyy.gif



Beeeeeaaaauuuuty!







Smile! sorta.. laugh.gif






If any of you guys have been following the news , this was westpac heading out to help search for the lost divers. Good news they were O.K though!




Thought I would just share my day anyhow smile.gif

Cheers
Antony

The Falcon is N693SH and I believe it is privately owned - here on vacation.

Nice pics - Welly is so nice on a good day.

N693SH is owned by a leasing company based out of California. Its not the first time its been here. I've seen at at Auckland NZAA.

Thanks for the feedback guys thumbup1.gif

Very interesting about the Falcon - pretty sure I saw it take off when I was on short finals in the tommy , seemed to go straight up ! Must have a fair bit of thrust out of those 3 big donks!

Will try and post some more pictures aviation related soon - am going away on holiday for a few weeks now but then Wings Over Wairarapa is coming up pretty soon. I am on the team for that so hope to get a good spot for some photos in between ferrying the pilots if that is indeed what I will be doing - when I am back may even be able to arrange a wee meetup if a few of you guys are going ? New_Zealand_etc.gif

"I am on the team for that so hope to get a good spot for some photos in between ferrying the pilots if that is indeed what I will be doing "- and if that gets boring or having back seat drivers telling ya what to do then you can ferry me in , but then you may have to take the back seat again laugh.gif , Cheers Ants , hey have great holiday cool.gif
